Mechanisms Underlying Lineage Commitment and Plasticity of Helper CD4 + T Cells

Open access
O’Shea, John J., Paul, William E.·2010·Science

Abstract

Critical Mediators: Helper T cells are the immune system's ringmasters, having a multiplicity of functions that mediate the body's immune responses to infections. Depending on the type of infection, CD4 + helper T cells respond by secreting specific patterns of cytokines, which provide important cues to other subsets of immune cells. CD4 + T cells with distinct cytokine profiles have been viewed classically as separate lineages; however, there is mounting evidence that these cells may not be terminally differentiated but are in fact quite plastic. O'Shea and Paul (p. 1098 ) review the current understanding of CD4 + T cell subset differentiation and the underlying mechanisms that drive cell-lineage commitment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
